Elvie or Willow?

Question

Hey ladies! I’m looking to buy a breast pump but I really want a hands free one. A few years ago I had the Lansinoh smartpump but I have 3 kids now and can’t be hooked up to a machine for a long time. I’m trying to decide between the Elvie and Willow, I know they aren’t 100% perfect but which do y’all recommend?

Answer

Following! Ignore the product recommendation, I had to pick something in order to comment 😂

Answer

My lactation consultant said if she were to recommend one over the other it’d be the elvie over the willow. Keep in mind it doesn’t keep the charge the same as wall plugged pumps! I love my elvie so much! The customer service team is wonderful as well.

Answer

Ignore the suggestion, look into momcozy

Answer

I will be using my spectra as my main pump but I am getting the elvie as I have a toddler and need a little more freedom while at home. 
The willow is completely spill proof only if you use the expensive bags. I won’t spend that money so the pumps are equivalent in that aspect. They both have 7 suction levels but I’ve also heard the elvie is quieter. The elvie holds more milk and it looks like the parts are easier to clean.

Answer

I have the elvie but use the Medela I linked ad much as possible. The elvie is quiter than the willow and Medela but the suction is spotty. A great feature the elvie had (if it worked correctly) is that it shuts off once you filled the container milk goes into. 
The elvie is definitely convinent to have if you have the extra money for it. 
The willow requires so many more extra things so the cost is higher.
